Written for The ArkdnSdc 7rareler TIMOTHY'S DESCRIPTION.
BY CALVIN.

Timothy Tenderheart is man with naturally good which good inclinations have been materially strengthened by long and intimate association with the worthy Mrs. Tenderheart.
 With this prelude, no one of my readers shall dare to cast suspicious thought as to the honorableness of Timothy's intentions and the gentle ness of his heart in all particulars, even though do admit Timothy T. is prone to fall prey to the witchery of a pretty face, if the pretty face is of the feminine type. 1 admit that this frailty eff frailty it be) is one of Tim othy's distinguishing characteristics, and, furthermore, that when he has been charmed by the face of such a fair creature, he is not content to treasure the memory of her within his own breast, but must share his raptures with his "better three-q quar- ters." In doing this all will agree that Timothy Tenderheart is not po- 1 litic.
 With the picture of vision of sur passing loveliness fresh in his mind. he came home the other evening, and boldly launched on to the sea of fancy regarding her charms:
 Il saw superb beauty to-day: her face was really radiant with beauty"
 "So?" said Mrs. T., with that pe- culiar accent that means so much. "What style of face was it, may ask?"
 Timothy begins nasty, wild search ill his mind for fit words to give pie ture of his beauty, and finally stam- mers. "I guess it was a little more square than round, or little more round than square. didn't measure it with tape line nor calculate its geometrical proportions"
 "That is life-like description. l think if saw face whose beauty inn pressed me so deeply that came home rhapsodizing about it, I would be able to classify it as dish- face, full moon face, an oval face or a hatchet- face"
 MT. Timothy T., somewhat nettled tries the maneuver of flank move ment.
 "I wasn't aware I rhapsodized That's the way you always exaggerate everything"
 "Timothy, you will confine your- self to the subject" severely observes his life partner. "What kind of nose has she?"
 "Oh, nose about like other noses. ' "As if there are not a great variety of noses," says Mrs. T., who is very proud of her Roman-like nasal ap- bondage. Suppose you tell the color of her eyes"
 "Brown, or black, or yellow, or blue anything but green" snaps Timothy with the sweat of regret pouring from his brow and resolve hardening il his heart never to again talk of a wo- mans beauty.
 , ''I see no need of losing ones tenn. per over so small a matter. Perhaps l you will be more successful describing her mouth"
 fl With marked emphasis and nncom mendable promptness, Timothy re- plies: "The most remarkable thing , noticed about her mouth is that shs kept it shut" Mrs. T.'s mild orb, , flash ominously, but her tone is o1 } glacial coldness as she proceeds with

the inquisition: "And what did you say is the color of her hair?"
 At this MT. Timothy T. brightens visibly, for he considers it a much easier matter to describe hair than to picture the contour of face, the curve of lip or arch of nose, SO, "bold as sheep" he replies: "Brown, but not so nearly black as mine."
 AS Timothy's locks, to all intents and purposes, are black, his descrip- tion impresses Mrs. T. as lacking in vividness and exactness. With all the scorn of which she is capable, and it is much, she makes the closing speech in these memorable words: "'Brown, but not so nearly black as minev Do you know what you are saying, Tim othy Tenderhead?

The remainder of this eloquence was lost in space as Timothy forciblv closed the door behind him and sor- rowfully wandered to the lawn, there in the gathering twilight to soothe his wounded feelings with the music of the lawn mower, ruminating the while upon the strange gift that enables woman to glance at one of her sex and come home with de- tailed description of all her foibles and graces, from the mole on her cheek to the shoes on her feet.

THE strike Of the coal miners in the Le-
high region still continues with no appar-
ent sign of abatement. The miners who
have borne the oppression Of the coal oper-
ators for SO many years are determined In
their demands for an increase of wages and
will grant no concession until they haye
melted out TO them the justice they demand.
On the other hand the coal operators,
naughty and overbearing, look on in proud
disdain, treating contemptuously the de-
mands Of an over-worked and half-starved
humanity. The workmen need expect no
mercy from the operators. Every device Of
tyranny will be put in force to bring the
men into subsection and it will only be, af-
ter all their efforts have failed, that the
coal operators will concede to labor their
just and honest dues The miners are
backed by the Knights of Labor in their
fight for right and II the fight is carried
out upon the principles of its origination

THE New York Star thusly remarks con-
cerning the political prospect in that State
"Neyer was the Democracy of New York
more thoroughly united or better equipped
for effective campaign work. The magni-
tude Of the Issues of the election are well
understood. The State is to say whether
the country shall go forward In the path of
Democratic reform or relapse into those
dangerous abuses which the people repudi-
ated and rebuked in 1884, By the result
in New York this year will the country
judge the probabilities of the next presiden-
tial contest. II Ia, of course, possible that
the Republicans might carry the State now
and yet lose Its vote in the college of pres
idential electors. But the world does not
30 estimate the situation. To the general
mind IL seems clear that as goes New York
In November, 1887, so will 1t GO next year;
and that as New York shall vote for presl-
Dental electors, so will be the result of the
national contest. I. Is not for us to decline
the gage Of battle for the skirmish line OF
1888. II our opponents choose TO place
upon the Democracy of New York the re-
sponsibillty ef determining the next Presl.
dency in advance, II is our part to accept
the duty Of making good our position as
the Empire State of the Democratic party
with light but determined hearts. 1t Ia
within our power to elect a majority of the
legislature as well as the State Office rs in
spite of all the combinations, tricks and
lavish expenditure that will be employed
against us. 1t is only necessa ary that we
should bring out full Democratic vote, and
that each Democrat should labor to cou.
vince his doubling neighbors of the neces.
